Waldegrave Arms East Harptree

Situated in the heart of the picturesque Chew Valley, this traditional 17th century inn offering a range of high quality food, beers and wines.

Lee spent his early years in Africa, where his father worked in the copper mines. Following his education at Queen's College, Taunton and whilst waiting to join the Army, Lee started his catering career washing up in the kitchen of Coombe Grove Manor (then a hotel) in Bath. During his five years training at Bath Catering College, Coombe Grove blossomed to become the Country Club it is today. Lee never looked back.

Lee then cut his teeth working for a series of Bath restaurants and hotels, including the Circus Restaurant, the New Moon, the Hole-in-the-Wall, Royal Crescent Hotel and latterly, head Chef at the Fosseway Country Club.

After a short spell at the the Richmond Arms, Lee decided to do his own thing and with Sharon, who has considerable experience in the trade, moved to the Waldegrave Arms in East Harptree two years ago.
